Campaign of Unrest - The Lone Ranger | 11/18/1938 (Ep907)
Summary
In this Lone Ranger episode, the masked hero and Tonto intervene in Hillsdale to stop banker Thaddeus Gruber from inciting cattlemen to destroy farmers' wheat to force land sales. After Gruber hires a shill to stir up conflict, the Lone Ranger secretly arranges a deal where the cattlemen drive their starving herd into the wheat fields in exchange for cash. The Lone Ranger then tricks the banker into paying the cattlemen, who immediately use the funds to compensate the farmers, exposing Gruber's scheme and forcing him to flee.
